Chapter 214 Doomed from the Start “Open the door!”

Jesse went to open the door with messy hair and bloodshot eyes. Her manager caught a whiff of her and knew that she had gotten drunk the night before.

She poured a glass of water for her manager. “Do you want some alcohol?”

“Of course not!” The veins on her manager’s forehead protruded, and her manager threw her cell phone at Jesse. Things are crazy outside, but you’re in the mood to drink?!”

Jesse was startled. She opened Twitter but didn’t have to search. Her name in the real-time trending topics struck her, and her fingers suddenly trembled. She nervously clicked on the topics one by one.

Jesse Abbott’s tax evasion.”

‘Russell Group denounced Jesse Abbott for fabricating rumors.”

Jesse Abbott’s schemes.

The trends were too numerous to list.

“Wow, I remember back when there were rumors about Jesse and Dexter, Russell Group issued a statement. Does anyone remember? Jesse’s company actually wanted to imply that they were a couple. Isn’t it humiliating?”

‘She really sensationalized it, after all. I’m not going to be her fan any longer. I’m sad.

‘How embarrassing. Don’t you think that Jesse was very devious at the start? Don’t forget the dirt on her.

Jesse suddenly threw her cell phone violently on the floor. It fell with a piercing noise. She covered her mouth and shrieked. “Where is the public relations team? Do we still have money? Quickly pay to take these down!”

Her manager shouted, “Do you think I don’t know about public relations? The entire company is under pressure now. Would I be standing here if they could be taken down?”

Jesse was dumbstruck.

She cried bitterly. She was a greedy woman who had just wanted to grease her palms. She never her career would be ruined instead.

Her manager leaned closer, and her voice was terrifying. “Tell me honestly. Is there something you’re hiding from me? We didn’t threaten Dexter or sensationalize anything after speaking to Dexter in the parking lot that day. Why did he suddenly do such a thing?!”

Dexter’s maneuver was utterly merciless and highly sinister. After today, Jesse’s company would be ridiculed by the business world, and Jesse would completely disappear from the entertainment industry.

It was common to sensationalize rumors in the entertainment circle but uncommon for Dexter to personally expose Jesse.

It would have been better if it was someone ordinary, but he was Dexter! What could they do? They could only watch the situation develop.

They had tried their best not to let the news leak for the past few months but couldn’t keep it under wraps.

At that moment, Jesse wanted to pay to remove trending topics related to her. However, she was informed that someone was paying more to keep her trending topics as they were.

Who else can it be…

One could quickly become famous or fall from grace in the circle.

Jesse sat paralyzed on the floor against the wall. Her gaze dimmed slowly. “We were doomed from the start.”

Perhaps they shouldn’t have used the man from the start.

She shouldn’t have taken advantage of Dexter’s popularity on the red carpet.

Nor should she have tried to cause a sensation by restraining him.

Or hired paid Internet posters to fabricate an ambiguous relationship between them.

All the times she had taken advantage of his popularity back then were backfiring on her now.

When did it start to change?

Jesse thought about it earnestly, and someone appeared in her mind…

Josie?

It seemed like Dexter had changed his mind about them sensationalizing the rumors. He didn’t want to silently acknowledge it any longer and started requesting them to stop.

But they didn’t. Instead, they continued doing it.

Is it because of that woman? Jesse covered her face with her hands and had a moment of enlightenment in hindsight.

Her manager walked to her and pulled her hands away. “Why are you crying? We’ve been through so much in these years. Get up!”

“There are many reporters downstairs. We can’t just sit around and accept our fate. You have many scandals now, but you can’t explain everything immediately. It’s not fair to only hear one side of the story!”
